<p>Well, I am a new member who is trying to transfer to Cornell for CoE as well.</p>
<p>I think in my case, course req. is not a big problem, but after a disappointing semester, I find it unlikely that I can make it (T.T) considering my not so great HS records.</p>
<p>I’m just applying though, because I don’t think I can meet req for junior standing anyways, since chem-e has its own stuff going on; I’m just playing chances as well—how bad can they be?? It’s definitely better than the probability that I go through a wall suddenly :)</p>
<p>Okay…seriously though, the worst I could get is a “no,” so I guess it’s not going to hurt to try.</p>
<p>I am in shoe too: my high school GPA is good. However, my SAT was slow… So you planning to apply for other departments. they required an additional essay of 500 words</p>
<p>Really quick question, can anyone tell me how strict AEM is on pre-req. I am applying for transfer admission in spring 2012 and started college this spring. My college’s biology class has basically been booked since day 1 and all they have open is general biology, which probably will not transfer because of topics covered. Since their website states that for AEM, it is encouraged but not required to take the biology, do you think this will be a negative on my application? I do plan on taking Calculus 2, Statistics and one semester of Physics however, so I am hoping it will balance out. Thank you!</p>
school of ChemE is very strict with its curriculum. I think it’s rather difficult if you don’t transfer early (which you already pointed out). Good luck! It doesn’t hurt to try :)</p>
<p>“Please provide a statement (250 words minimum) that addresses your reasons for transferring and the objectives you hope to achieve.”</p>
<p>“Tell us what you’d like to major in at Cornell and why, how your past academic or work experience influenced your decision, and how transferring to Cornell would further your academic interests.”</p>
<p>Not exactly the same but considerable overlap.</p>
<p>My high school grades are pretty horrendous through junior year but my senior grades are really good (3.8). And I have a 4.0 in college, what do you guys think? Decent Chance?</p>
<p>Billionaire: it depend what college you are applying… well I say you have good chance… as long you bring something different to the table… I can also relate to you. My high school GPA 3.7, however my SAT ver low( i don’t want to talk about it)… my first semester not so great( i got a C in c++): it was my first time taking program course and my first time seeing it… it was something new for me
. my GPA in college not so high like yours Billionaire… keep hope- make sure your essay is very good… do you know of anyone applying for engineering college in mechanical engineering department.</p>
If you are applying for junior transfer, they are going to look into your grades from 2 years in college, recommendation letters, ECs, or test scores more than your high school grades.</p>
